Is my GM 7 key still usable?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if it's still possible to use the registered version of GM 7. I bought it about 6 months ago, but now when I try to open the activation page (inside Game Maker) it just shows a red-x dead image. Is there anything I can do here?

You are buying a different, upgraded version. And if you had been paying attention, you could have bought it for $25.00 instead of $39.99, two months ago. YYGs, did everything they could to get the price increase information out there.

I have Win 7 64 bit and bought the full GM version 7 with a book. Have already had my money's worth and quite a bit of fun (although my efforts are awful!) but have been unable to get it to register now I've upgraded to a new computer.

I have re-installed, re-registered, un-installed deleted and deleted the registration files, ran it as admin, installed it as admin and tried different locations for the instalation.

After 5 attempts with Softwrap Support to get my old v7 registered I have given up and got 8.1. I'm a bit leery of buying it (but I know I will anyway ) because of the complete failure to get the 'old' version running.

I searched here and have 2 e-mails from Softwrap saying 'we have it now fixed!' only to find that that statement is a little premature. I think they've run out of things to try as I haven't heard from them in 3 days.

I swear though that I made a successful GM7 license reactivation this year (maybe 4 months ago). But my hard disk just crashed and I needed GM7 Pro... but the embedded upgrade GM webpage is no longer working it seems.

Although, there's really no more reason to use GM 7 since its likely that YoYo will not support this version 7 anymore (except continue old projects made with it). But I have lots of GM7 projects which I intend to continue working on using the latest GM Standard. The small projects are easy to convert but the larger projects really takes some time. In this case, I'm hoping some genius would create a gm7 to gm8 editable file converter.

Your negligence, your problem.

I never frequented the forums or website a ton, and because of that I missed both the free offer and $25 offer to upgrade. Having registered my GM7 version, I'm assuming they had my email at least, they could have had the courtesy to shoot an email or something. I never got anything.

Anyway, I also registered GM7 on a new computer just a few months ago. If they stopped registering GM7, it had to have been recently.
